OIL-CAN.

. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 277,040, dated May a, 1883;

Application filed July 26,1882. (No model.)

To allwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES F. LOCKWOOD, a citizen of the United States, residing in ,the city and countyof Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful improvement in Oil-Cans, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the portion of a can embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section thereof in line 00 00, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a top or plan view thereof. Fig. 4 is a vertical section thereof in line yy, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the blank. I

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

My invention consists in a can, the nozzle formed from one piece of metal with the breast thereof, said nozzle having upright side walls,

a vertical wall or tongue connecting said side walls, and a wall at the top at right angle to and closing the side walls, substantially as hereinafter set forth.

The said invention further consists in a blank for constructing the breast and nozzle of a can from one piece of material, consisting of the disk shaped piece having a portion of its edge removed to leave tongues, substantially as hereinafter set forth.

The said invention further consists in a combined nozzle and breast in one piece, consisting of the breast, the side walls, and the vertical walls, substantially as hereinafter set forth.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the breast of a can, and B the nozzle thereof, formed together of one piece of metal or other suitable material.

Referring to Fig. 5, I take a disk-shaped piece, a, of metal, and remove part of the edge thereof, as at b, c, d, and e, the part removed, as at d, leaving a tongue, 0, and the part between -0 e constituting a tongue, D, which projects farther out than the part 0. The disk is now subjected to the action of a stamp, swage, or die, which throws up the body of the disk can, and the portion having the dotted lines into the shape of the nozzle, the parts ff of said portion standing upright and separated at the sides or side walls of the nozzle, the

outlet of the can.

part g being a horizontal wall, closing the top of the nozzle. line It, and stands upright at a right angle with the part], with which it is integral, and extends as a 'wall to theother part, f, to which it is soldered, thus closing the front of the nozzle, except at top, where, owing to the tongue D, which projects beyond the edge of the part 0, there is left a small opening, 0, which is the To the walls of said open ings there is to be soldered a small pour-oti" nozzle, (shown in dotted lines, Fig. 1,) to facilitate the discharge of the contents of the can. Said tongue D has-alap, h, forproviding a-nincreased security of attachment with the part f. (See Fig.2.) The tongueOis soldered to thepart d of the breast, and closes the opening at the periphery of the breast at the base of the nozzle, so that the breast may be said to be intact, it being noticed that the space a between the walls of the nozzle at the bottom thereof is open, thus forming communication between the interior of the can and the nozzle, the oil, when the can is turned or tilted, flowing from the body of the same into the nozzle through the said space a. as the proper passage there for, and so reaching the discharge end of the nozzle. It will be seen that as the nozzle is integral with the breast of the can it is tightly closed at all places, excepting where the oil enters the nozzle and is discharged therefrom, whereby leakage is prevented. Theside walls of the nozzle rising from the breast as a continuous piece thereof firmly sustain the complete nozzie and provide a strong and durable connection for said parts, whereby the nozzle is enabled to withstand .blows without being broken off from the breast. Furthermore, the breast and nozzle may be quickly and cheaply. constructed, and the cost of the can thereby materially lessened.

The screwcap forlilling purposes may be attached to the center ot'the breast or between the center and periphery. In the former case an opening is out in the center ofthe disk, and the upper wall of the nozzle will be lowered, so as not to reach the top of the breast, as shown by the dotted line g, Fig. 1, whereby the fixed part of the screw-cap may be properly secured to the breast of the can and the upper wall of the nozzle remains intact.

The tongue D is folded in the To the outlet of the nozzle a little supplementary nozzle or chute is soldered at c, the same being indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim'as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a can, the nozzle formed from one piece of metal with the breast thereof, said nozzle having upright side walls, a vertical wall or tongue connecting said side walls, and a wall at the top at .right angles to and closing the side walls, substantially as set forth.

2. The blank for constructing the breast and nozzle ofa can from one piece of material, consisting of the disk-shaped piece a, havinga 1 consisting of the breast A, the side walls, ff, go

and the wallsgand D, substantially asset forth.
